Audi TT – first pics and deets on 2007 model

The Autoblog Spanish team has turned up a real treat for us over on this side of the pond – the first images and details on the upcoming 2007 Audi TT set to debut in 2006. These images and more like them have surfaced on at least two German websites, Auto T-online and Autobild, and both sites seem to corroborate that this indeed will be the next Audi TT. The rear of the new TT will be a familiar site, while the front end borrows heavily from the Shooting Brake concept that debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show. As has always been the case, we expect the new TT to be built using the VW Golf platform. There will be a total of five engines available including three four cylinders rated at 170, 200 and 240 horsepower, respectively. The TT will also get the corporate 3.2L V6 in 250-hp trim, as well as a 2.0L Biturbo producing no less than 350 hp in the RS model. The TT roadster will also likely debut in 2007 in a 2+2 configuration. Time will tell if the new TT evolves into a more aggressive sports car than the current model, which many pan as being more a rolling work of art than a true performance car. While you can pretty far in this world on looks alone, Audi’s second effort for the TT will need to perform on par with its peers if it hopes to retain and attract new customers for the coupe.

I like what I see, but I hope there will be a Audi TT RS (350hp) version sold in North America too.

What is this 2.0L Biturbo engine ?? I expected the V6 3.2L Biturbo in that car and in the next RS3.

Hey everso, can you confirm for us these elements ?

like the 'Shoot Brake-back than the back it will get...

edit: Anyone else see SC430 in it?

Hmm, doesn't look too good in my book. Maybe it is just the photoshops, but it just doesn't seem right.

Hmmm... not bad, but definitely more butch. I'm a bit surprised by the design direction actually. It's like what happened with the Z3 to Z4 transformation... it's more butch, more hairy chest.

I guess the shooting brake concept will be the more feminine of the two.

I really don't like the coupe look, it almost makes it look like it's a RWD car. The original TT for some reason actually looked like it was AWD since the proportions from front to back were more even. Whatever, i won't get upset until i see it in person, but the shooting brake looked better IMO.

real exicted to see the RS version

Right on. That's exactly what is wrong with it. I couldn't put my finger on it, but you are right though, the proportions are wrong.

[Wyclef]

No, no, no. I don't like it. Definitely not in that red colour.
But it's just a pic. I have to see it on the road

[Ian_yamaue]

Hmmmm... I don't like it...

[T M O]

Looks much more better than concept showed at Tokyo Motor Show 2005 ...

[sentra_dude]

The magazine pictures look...ok? Those other pictures make it look like pure crap, even worse than the out-going TT. I wonder if this will be as much of a poser car as the last one was. :roll:

[RC45]

It really does look like the Lexus S430 with Audi grill and tail lights.. very uninspired..

[crayzayjay]

Much prefer it to the shooting brake concept
